Default How to stop seeing a "merge" message every time I open a document


I created a document on my desktop for my employees to document their worked
hours. I mailed it to each one of them. They each, of course, saved their
own local copy. They use it daily.

Now, whenever they mail me the document (20 people each day!) and I open the
document I'm asked if I want to "merge" (or something like that) the changes
back into the original that was on my desktop. I've given options of YES,
NO, and NO AND DON'T ASK AGAIN.

It doesn't matter that I've deleted the original from my desktop, and it
also doesn't help even if I select NO AND DON'T ASK AGAIN (probably because
every document mailed to me is unique).

How can I definitively stop seeing this message. It's driving me bananas!

Thanks,

-abs
